		Were it not for the Vinaya rules, specifically Patimokkha rules in vinaya pitaka, and for those who continue to abide by it's golden rules even today, there would be no Buddhism.
		The Vinaya contains the code of rules by which monks and nuns are to conduct themselves individually (the Patimokkha), as well as the rules, procedures and forms of etiquette that are necessary to support harmonious relations, both among the monastics themselves, and between the monastics and their lay supporters, upon whom they depend.
		Altogether, there are 227 Patimokkha rules (code of discipline) for the bhikkhus (monks) and 311 for the bhikkhunis (nuns).

	Vinaya Pitaka
		The Vinaya contains the code of rules by which monks and nuns are to conduct themselves individually (the Patimokkha), as well as the rules and procedures that support the harmonious functioning of the community as a whole.
		This narrow view misses one crucial fact: it is thanks to the unbroken lineage of monastics who have consistently upheld and protected the Patimokkha rules for almost 2,600 years that we find ourselves today with the luxury of being able to receive the priceless teachings of Dhamma.
		The rules are summarized in the Patimokkha, and amount to 227 rules for the bhikkhus, 311 for the bhikkhunis.

	Buddhist Studies: 4. Q & A on Women in Buddhism
		From a comparative study between the monks and nuns patimokkha (presented at an International Conference on Thai Studies, Chiengmai, Oct. 1417, 1996) it is shown that counting by section, bhikkhus observe eight sections as compared to seven sections by nuns.
		In Parajika, the first section of the patimokkha which is concerned with the most severe offences, any monk or nun who has transgressed any one of these rules is "defeated" at the moment of committing that act.
		Within 76 rules exclusively for bhikkhunis, it is notable that there are many rules regarding ordination requirements which the bhikkhus also have to follow, but for bhikkhus they are not counted in the Patimokkha.

	Annals of the Bhandarkar Oriental Researchnstitute, Poona
		The list of the Sikkhapadas codified as bare rules in the two Patimokkhas is important as showing that the author of the Cullavagga account kept in his mind nothing but the Suttavibhanga with its two divisions: the Bhikkhu-Vibhanga and the Bhikkhuni-Vibhanga.
		It may he readily granted that the codification of the Patimokkha rules in the extant shape was not accomplished immediately after the demise of the Buddha.
		Omitting the 75 sekhiya rules the total of the Patimokkha precepts of conduct would come up to 152, If the theras of the first Buddhist Council had in their view a Patimokkha code in which the 75 Sekhiya rules had no place, the total of precepts in the code recognised by them was 152.

	The Bhikkhuni Patimokkha
		Of these, 181 are shared with the Bhikkhu Patimokkha: four Parajikas, seven Sanghadisesas, 18 Nissaggiya Pacittiyas (NP), 70 Pacittiyas, all 75 Sekhiyas, and all seven Adhikarana-samatha rules.
		However, they are counterbalanced by two rules exclusive to the Bhikkhu Patimokkha that were formulated at the request of bhikkhunis to prevent the bhikkhus from abusing their position in the hierarchy in a way that would interfere with the bhikkhunis' practice of the Dhamma.
		Where the brackets follow the number of the bhikkhuni rule and simply contain a number, the corresponding bhikkhus' rule is in the same section in the Bhikkhu Patimokkha as in the Bhikkhuni Patimokkha.

		This introduction is meant to help satisfy that curiosity by giving a brief explanation of the rationale behind the rules and their enforcement, and by providing summaries of the rules, classed according to topic.
		The Patimokkha as we now have it is embedded in a text called the Sutta Vibhanga.
		Using half-truths to deceive others into believing that one is ignorant of the rules in the Patimokkha, after one has already heard the Patimokkha in full three times, and a formal act exposing one's deceit has been brought against one, is a pacittiya offense.

	patimokkha -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
		The prohibitions of the patimokkha are arranged in the Pali canon according to the severity of the offense—from those that require immediate and lifelong expulsion from the order, temporary suspension, or various degrees of restitution or expiation to those that require confession only.
		The entire patimokkha is recited during the uposatha, or fortnightly assembly of Theravada monks.
		The Mahayana tradition in China and Japan more generally rejected those rules that were not applicable locally and substituted disciplinary codes that differed from sect to sect and sometimes even from monastery to monastery.

	Patimokkha
		PATIMOKKHA, also Pratimoksa, is the name given to a set of two hundred and twenty seven rules to be observed by members of the Buddhist Order.
		The rules are not ethical but mainly economic, regulating the behaviour of the members of the Order towards one another in respect of clothes, dwellings, furniture, etc., held in common.
		In four cases out of the two hundred and twenty seven the punishment for infringement of a rule is exclusion from the Order; in all the remaining cases, it is merely suspension for a time.

		The Patimokkha is available to us in several recensions, some in Indic languages, others in Tibetan or Chinese translations.
		Thus there are only five types of penalty mentioned in the Patimokkha rules themselves, ranging from permanent expulsion from the Community to simple confession in the presence of another bhikkhu.
		Even a cursory glance at the Patimokkha rules will show that many of them deal with the latter sort of offense, and that such offenses concern relatively minor matters.

		The Patimokkha consists of approximately 250 precepts, or ethical injunctions, about 280 for nuns.
		These precepts define the life of a Buddhist monastic and cover such areas as clothing, eating, deportment, and many details of the Buddhist monastic life.
		The Patimokkha is ritually chanted on the quarters of the moon, at which time the monastic community gathers to renew their commitments to these precepts and the way of life that they entail.

		To summarize the Vibhanga: If a bhikkhu -- when the recitation of the Patimokkha comes to a rule he has violated -- tries to excuse himself through the sort of pretence cited in the rule, he immediately incurs a dukkata if he has already listened to the Patimokkha in full three times or more.
		Obviously, these explanations were written when Pali was the bhikkhus' native language, and the recitation of the Patimokkha in Pali offered the opportunity to learn the rules, along with the opportunity to feign ignorance without telling an out-and-out lie.
		Summary: Using half-truths to deceive others into believing that one is ignorant of the rules in the Patimokkha, after one has already heard the Patimokkha in full three times, and a formal act exposing one's deceit has been brought against one, is a pacittiya offense.

		During the months outside of the Rains, the composition of the Community may be so variable from week to week that he is uncertain of their ability or willingness to judge the issue fairly, and they themselves may be in a poor position to judge the reliability of the accused and his accuser.
		Because the Patimokkha is not being recited -- and because there are provisions for shortening the Invitation procedure in the event of a long, drawn-out discussion -- there is more time to consider an accusation.
		If the second group is larger, the second group should recite the Patimokkha and then the first group should invite in their presence, using the formula for a mutual Invitation without a motion.

		INTRODUCTION TO THE PATIMOKKHA RULES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ by Thanissaro Bhikkhu In recent years more and more Westerners have come into contact with Theravada Buddhist monks, and many have become curious about the rules governing the monks' life.
		The Patimokkha classifies its rules into seven levels: parajika, defeat; sanghadisesa, entailing Communal meetings; nissaggiya pacittiya, entailing forfeiture and confession; pacittiya, entailing confession; patidesaniya, entailing acknowledgement; sekhiya, trainings; and adhikarana samatha, the settlement of issues.

		This volume is an attempt to give an organized, detailed account of the training rules found in the Khandhakas that govern the life of bhikkhus, together with the traditions that have grown up around them.
		Although each set of rules has some topics to itself, there are other topics covered by both sets, and a full knowledge of the topic requires acquaintance with both.
		In some cases, the Patimokkha rules and the explanations that accompany them in the Sutta Vibhanga seem to presuppose the Khandhaka rules; in other cases, the relationship is the other way around.
